I am making progress even with being away some the past two weeks. The lady staying there really didn't do much as she had just started a new job. I got back on Thursday and bought another 12 gallons of bleach from wally world. I think I have put 75 gallons in the past month. This weekend I have...

An update to the nightmare I have been at the pool since Thursday. I took my mask and persevered to find the vacuum hose strainer, the Hewyard robot and the weighted vacuum head. Had to get new hose as old was sucking air. Now have removed a solid packed gallon pale or so of debris. Keeping...

the lady staying there said the water was blue this morning but cloudy. Yay. she just said the chlorine was low, testing with a strip. She added more bleach, but I am now sure how much. She is not communicating much as she has just started a new job. I hope to get back to it tomorrow.

This house was my wife's parents, we acquired it from the estate. The pool water was nice clear when the cover came off. But is sat for a week or more with no pump or any treatment. The old guy should have know better

We are trying to get the house on the market. Long story but have been trying to get it going since memorial day. Waiting on old pool company.. I wish now I had "dove in" (no pun intended) on my own at first and researched to find this site months ago. got the ph down today. poured 3 gallons of...

I understand Mr. Bruce, i'll get my hands on a kit shortly. I have to be back home Tuesday at noon or I would fight it for a couple days now.

my friend is putting in two gallons of chlorine early today. Should I take 6 or more, to have plenty to kill the algae. How long does it keep? The filter has been running several days since I changed the sand. Before the sand was changed my low "clean" pressure was 21-22 psi. After changing the...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have already decided to not use the "old guy" again. I will order the kit today. I instructed the person who is at the house to put in a gallon of MA today and after a couple of hours to pour in two gallons of liquid chlorine. I will get to the pool later...

Just found this forum while studying how to clear a green pool. THis pool was not used for four or five years. Required a new pump n motor, chlorinator. I tried to get the pool company that had worked on it previously but they were too busy to get to a potentially troublesome opening. The guy I...
